The delightful joy of doing the route badly at first before coffee

The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. I noticed the same thing in Manila.

The kindness in this post is lovely. I noticed the same thing in Lagos. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.
